While Valaris Ltd reported better-than-expected revenues for Q2 2023, the decrease in revenues excluding reimbursable items and the closing of the company's shares lower could potentially impact the company's stock price in the short term. However, the company's repurchase of shares and securing of new contracts and extensions could offset this impact.
